GALLERY- May 2004

This months gallery is a dip into the online archives of the Cinemationlist files and photos area. Items often get posted to support a message thread and then get forgotten about for others to discover afresh.

Copyright is unclear for many of these items- the Yahoo ID has been indicated for the original poster as they have generally taken the photos themselves of are from their collection.

Majestic Cinema Cradley heath, by "Gordonabc62"

The original flooring underneath removed carpet at the Danilo, by "gordonabc62"

This is shown as the Grand Theatre/Gaumont, Oldham in the author's filing, an interesting then & now double picture, presumably at opening and a more recent photo. The lower view says "A decade of dance 1983-1993" and the facade shows it called Butterflys.

It is unusual for a clock to be added (or indeed included) on a cinema building. Posted by "nor9992001".

Patrons

Thank you goodnight.

It is good to see that modern Cinemas will get in the spirit for new releases. This is "Open Range" at the Richmond Odeon. Is it a coincidence that one of the Projectionists there is a self-confessed Cowboy? Guns & Film, a heady combination!

This remarkable panoramic photo is a contemporary view of the Odeon Richmond Screen 1 and is the work of "Steveproj"
